Multiple hair removal system includes a conductive layer including a conductive material. The conductive material functions to provide electromagnetic energy from a source to hairs to be treated that extend up into and/or through the conductive layer and contact the conductive material. A method of removing multiple hairs and inhibiting future hair growth includes applying a conductive layer, applying electromagnetic energy for a period of time sufficient to destroy the matrix area of the hair, and allowing the treated hair to either be removed immediately or to stay in the skin for a period of time sufficient for the chemical reaction induced at the matrix area to continue long enough to destroy the matrix area and prevent regrowth of the hair.
